Altered metamemory precedes cognitive impairment in subjective cognitive decline with positive amyloid-beta.

ABSTRACT: Subjective cognitive decline (SCD) as an indicator of preclinical Alzheimer's disease (AD) may precede mild cognitive impairment (MCI) over several decades. Self-reported cognitive decline as a typical clinical manifestation is critical in preclinical AD. Metacognition represents a person's ability to accurately assess cognition. Our study aimed to examine (1) the alternations of metamemory in a cohort across the Alzheimer's continuum, (2) the association between metamemory and cognition, and (3) the relationship of cortical thickness in four regions of interest (ROI) with metamemory scores. Six hundred ninety-seven participants were classified as 79 AD dementia, 161 aMCI, 261 SCD, and 196 cognitively unimpaired (CU) individuals, in which 418 participants aged above 65, 131 participants wi
